Next week there will be no chapters on Tuesday or Wednesday and possibly Thursday. I will keep you guys updated but we have to meet a deadline of January 31st and it's going to mean some crazy days and long hours so no chapters. Monday and Friday next week will for sure have chapters, Thursday might have a chapter depending on how the day goes.
There will not be chapters this weekend, I'm really sorry but I have to work all weekend and have a very dear friend visiting on Sunday as well. There will be a chapter Monday and a chapter on Friday for sure as I said above.
Head to the DeGrassi Saviors site and check out our homepage. The Christmas poll is down and a new feature is up! It's part of 1 of 5 and more the "if' lists will go up as Christlove88 have time to finish them.
Everyone head to tomfeltonlover1991's page on the DeGrassi Saviors website and vote in her poll. She needs help deciding on a plot for a DeGrassi & 5 Seconds of Summer crossover. You can vote as many times as you like so keep voting.
It's a very short chapter again, it's been a very long day and a very crazy week.
Ch. 4 Rest of My Life
(CLARE)
"Still working the copy for tonight?" Adam asks coming over to my desk with a cup of coffee. One of the best things about working with your best friend is they tend to know what you need before you ask.
"Yeah I'm almost done but I still have to edit that story on school volunteer hours," I reply as my cell phone rings. "Clare Anteros," I answer.
"This is Giulia the secretary at Lanor; you're on Bianca's emergency contact list."
"Is Bianca okay?" I ask in a panic.
"She's been taken to the hospital with severe stomach pains, she collapsed in class and we called an ambulance. She's being taken to Trillium Health Center."
"Thank you I'm on my way and I'll call the others," I reply hanging up and look at Adam. "Bianca collapsed at the school with stomach pains, I have to call our husbands and get down there."
"Go I'll finish up for you and tell them where you went. Call me and let me know everything is okay," Adam requests.
"I will," I nod grabbing my stuff and running for my car. I start driving for the hospital and call Drew first. He was on a photo shoot earlier but should be back at his studio now.
"Hi Vixen," Drew answers and I can hear the smile on his lips.
"B was taken to the hospital with stomach pains I'm on my way there now. Trillium Health Center," I inform him.
"I'm on my way, I'll call Owen I think his last appointment just finished," Drew says and hangs up.
Fitz is on patrol but I call the station and they tell me they'll inform him of the emergency. I arrive at the hospital at the same moment as Drew, we begin walking to the emergency entrance and our hands join together when we're close enough.
"We're looking for Bianca Anteros," Drew tells the nurse at the desk.
"She's being examined now are you family?"
"I'm her husband," Drew replies. We've found it easier especially with strangers for only one of us to claim ourselves as the spouse, the explanation that the five of us are married or in one relationship is reserved for when we know people better.
"You'll need to fill these out," the nurse says handing Drew a clipboard, "someone will come speak to you when they know what's happening."
We sit down and begin filling out the paperwork when Owen comes in. Fitz enters along with Lucas, both in uniform, just as a doctor comes over to us.
"Bianca's appendix has ruptured; she's being taken to surgery now. Had she gotten here much later it could have been fatal. She'll need to stay in the hospital a couple of days on strong antibiotics and take it easy for several days after that. Someone will come get you when she's out of surgery," the doctor says.
We thank the doctor, Drew and Owen continue filling out the paperwork while Fitz and I call people. Lucas and Fitz are almost off so Lucas decides to go back to the station house to do their paperwork so Fitz doesn't have to worry about it and we hug him goodbye. Owen and Drew finish the paperwork before Fitz and I are done calling people. It seems like a very long time before a doctor comes over to us.
"She's out of surgery and being taken to recovery, I'll take you to her room."
We all get up and follow the doctor to a room and go inside. Bianca is in the hospital bed; she's still out and hooked up to a monitor and an IV. We sit at her bedside and wait for our wife to wake up. After about twenty minutes Bianca groans and her eyes flutter, her eyes open and the first one she sees is Owen since he's sitting on the end of her bed.
"Hey Gorgeous," he grins at her.
"I feel terrible," she groans.
"I imagine so your appendix burst," Owen replies.
"That's what that terrible pain was," Bianca says with a bit of groan.
"Yeah that's what it was and we were all very worried when we got the call that you were being taken to the hospital," I comment.
"I'm okay, I thought the pains in my stomach were indigestion," Bianca replies.
"Well it wasn't, you'll have to stay in the hospital a couple of days," Drew tells her.
"Mmm but I hate hospitals," Bianca pouts.
"I know but your appendix burst and you need lots of antibiotics," Fitz informs her.
"Can't you just sneak me out and take me home? I can never sleep in hospitals," Bianca complains.
"No B you need the antibiotics and they will give you drugs to sleep," Fitz says.
"It will only be a couple of days and then you'll be home and have all of us to take care of you," I remind her.
We stay with her for a couple of hours, Owen talks to the doctor for a bit but when Bianca begins to fall asleep we decide it's best to go home. We all kiss her goodbye and get in our separate cars to drive home, since Fitz came with Lucas he rides back with me. No one wants to cook so we order food and sit down together. We all go back to the hospital for the next couple of days to see Bianca and spend time with her; we're there most of the evening and pretty much whenever we're not working. Drew is able to rearrange his schedule Friday to pick up Bianca from the hospital and bring her home. Before Drew has to go to work Owen will be done with appointments and can be home to take care of Bianca. I have to work all day and Fitz is on duty all day but we see her when we get home.
"How do you feel?" I ask her going into one of the bedrooms on the 2nd floor where Bianca is sleeping until she's healed.
"Tired, sore, a little nauseas but they think that's the meds," Bianca replies.
"She had some soup but she's not that hungry," Owen tells me.
"Just sore and nauseas, I think I'll try and sleep you guys should make some dinner I'll call if I need you," Bianca yawns.
I give her a soft kiss and Owen and I go downstairs. Owen and I begin making dinner and Fitz comes home, he kisses me and then goes up to check on Bianca.
"She's still feeling sick, she asked for tea," Fitz tells us.
"I'll make it we're nearly done with dinner," I reply.
Fitz helps Owen finish dinner and I make some peppermint licorice tea and take it up to Bianca. I sit with her while she's drinking her tea and then the boys come up with dinner, Bianca doesn't want to eat but we sit with her while we eat. Drew is at a shoot until late tonight or we would have waited to eat with him.
"Do you need anything?" I ask Bianca while the boys take the dishes down.
"I'd like a shower, not alone though I'm still pretty sore. With you and one of our husbands," Bianca requests.
"And you shall have it. Stay in bed you won't lift a finger while you're healing. We can all shower in our master washroom together if you want?"
"Yes please, too bad Drew has to miss out."
"I'll make it up to him later," I grin and go downstairs. "Bianca wants to shower with all of us," I inform our husbands.
Owen and Fitz stop cleaning and come upstairs with me; Owen picks Bianca up and carries her up to our master. As we're already all naked we don't have to disrobe. Fitz and I turn on the water and Owen sets Bianca on the bench in our large shower. She sits sideways leaning against the wall and Fitz picks up Bianca's shower gel and squeezes a little into his hands. Owen and I do the same and then we all begin washing Bianca, gently cleaning her body from the tips of her toes to her chin. After that I wash her hair while the boys rub her feet. We turn off the showers and Fitz wraps a towel around Bianca, we dry off and Fitz carries Bianca back downstairs. She could walk but she's healing and she's married to four people so there's really no need for her to do anything. We sit with her and watch a movie until she's tired and she begins getting ready for bed, Drew comes home as she's brushing her teeth. He kisses me and then Bianca and he sits with her until she falls asleep while the rest of us finish cleaning the kitchen.
When Drew comes downstairs he tells us about his photo shoot. Drew and Fitz have work tomorrow but Owen and I are off. The four of us stay up cuddling together and talking until we fall asleep, me between Drew and Fitz and Owen next to Fitz. Fitz leaves first since his shift is early today, Drew is up next and Owen gets up to check on Bianca. I sleep in a little before having breakfast with my girl. Owen and I spend the day with Bianca and doing housework. Adam and Jane call to see how Bianca is and I invite them to dinner since everyone will be home by six.
With people coming over we have to put clothes on, well we don't have to but Adam is our brother-in-law and Jane our sister-in-law so we put on clothes. Owen and I begin making dinner and Adam and Jane arrive and greet Bianca who's on the sofa. We talk a while and when Drew and Fitz get home we have dinner together.
"I'll be happy to get back to work next week, I'm getting restless," Bianca complains.
"And she can't have sex yet," Owen adds.
"I could have gone back this week the doctor okayed it but the school wanted me to take the week," Bianca says and then there's a knock at the door. We're not expecting anyone but Fitz gets up and opens the door, he steps aside allowing Sean and Paige in.
"We're sorry to drop by but we were in the neighborhood and we wanted to share some happy news," Sean says with a smile.
"We're engaged Sean just proposed," Paige squeals and shows us her ring.
We all cheer and get up to congratulate them and hug them. Sean and Paige stay for dessert and more celebration. Everyone leaves late and Bianca goes to bed while the rest of us clean up.
"Sean and Paige are engaged and we've been married a month, Jane and Adam have been married almost two years. I wonder which will be the first of us to have kids?" I muse to my husbands as we get into bed.
"Well we've got two girls to get pregnant and three men to do it so I'm guessing we will," Owen grins.
I laugh and kiss each of my husbands passionately. It's still hard to believe some times that this blissful happiness I'm in all began with a moment of burning hatred, anger and deep betrayal when I found Eli cheating on me.
The update on Thursday, February 18th will begin with their anniversary and some joyous news for the fivesome.
I know it's been a lot of short chapters for this one and a lot of jumping. It will be a lot more jumping through the years to show everything that I want to show and not drag this on for too many chapters.
